Homeless Tent City Coming To Your Neighborhood? Can Ken Sim Solve Vancouver DTES/ Chinatown Crisis?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- Ken Sim wants to help solve the crisis in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside and Chinatown. There is increased homelessness, crime, drug addiction, mental illness, vandalism and random violence. Ken Sim is one of the Mayoral Candidates For Vancouver Election in 2022.
In recent months, guns have been confiscated in the tent city on East Hastings Street. After the deadline to dismantle the tents had passed, they are still there. The tents and the homeless people are not moving anytime soon.
Three innocent people have been attacked in Chinatown in recent months.
There needs to be action to help the homeless people. There needs to be action to safeguard everyone in the city.
West coast cities such as San Francisco, Portland and Seattle have seen their cities deteriorate. The fear is that this situation will spread into your neighborhood, as it has in a lot of cities in Canada and the United States.
I endorse Ken Sim's to be the Mayor of the city of Vancouver. He is the leader of the ABC Vancouver Party (A Better City). He wants to have a better city for everyone. I met him recently at a rally on the Eastside of Vancouver.
Check out my video to see what he stands for. If you feel he is the right person to be Mayor of Vancouver, please get out and vote. We need to take action now before the situation gets worse.
Nothing brings out humanity more than being dragged through a job being a janitor and going to school at the same time……I don’t care if he is chinease, black, brown, purple whatever…..that is a real man that has gone through hardship and I can see it in his eyes …Vancouver you got yourself a good mayor
You said it perfectly. I hope he will help restore our city for the benefit of everyone. Thanks for viewing my video.
I like Ken for the fact he put himself through school by working as janitor, doorman (bellboy), cashier and inventory clerk, Its really really not easy consider the tuition fees so high....... that shows how REAL he is
Hoping he will improve how the City is run. Thanks for viewing my video.
Thanks for showing this video of Ken Sim. The citizens of Vancouver have spoken and have stated the status quo is not acceptable.
Hopefully there will be changes for the better. Thanks for viewing my video.
Finally a Chinese mayor for Vancouver. This man will turn the city around. God bless Ken Sim ❤
I agree. Thanks for viewing my video.
How does his race mean anything? Sounds racist
The city had 20 years to do something. Now it's a castrophie. He'll be just another mayor pandering to the fringe bleeding heart groups and keeping H.A.R.M.
“Finally a Chinese mayor”, what’s that supposed to mean? Shouldn’t it be the best person for the job regardless of their race? In this case, it very well may have been Ken Sim but your comment sounds racist and a bit ignorant in my view, as if you would vote for him regardless of his policies just as long as he was Chinese…
Good video Dan, good question you asked Ken, very direct.
@@davesummer2552 lol you're pretty clueless this is the first Chinese major how is that racist on what he is saying? Goes the other way too people are so racist in this city that a lot wouldn't vote for him or other poc because they aren't white even though they could be the best person for the job. Hopefully Ken Sim cleans up the DTES which is desperately needed and has gotten way out of hand.
Congratulations! May your tenure as a mayor bring the much needed changes in the city.
Changes are needed. Thanks for checking out my video.
WOW! I really hope he can turn things around in Chinatown! He seems to have been very much self made, and applaud his work ethic.... did same years before, graveyard shift janitor, going to school... tough haul indeed... I grew up there in the 50's and 60's and it is SO SAD to see its soul gone, and struggling! THANKS MUCH for sharing, ALL THE BEST and Cheers from down south! :)
I hope he does a good job. His kids are saying they have no future in Vancouver, so he has a lot at stake for everyone in Vancouver. Thanks for checking out my video.
Came to Vancouver in 1946 from rural NS. Can you imagine the contrast? City was okay, but East Hastings was shocking. We don’t really care for our fellow man
I can imagine Hastings Street being rough back in those days but not nearly as bad as nowadays. Still it must have been a shock for you coming from a rural area. Thanks for checking out my video.
I am in the San Francisco Bay Area and you certainly don't want it to get as bad as here. I hope you find a solution there.
I saw a recent video of San Fran Chinatown. It looked really good. A few weeks ago, a group of Vancouver people went to San Fran Chinatown to learn how to improve our Chinatown. There was a bit of coverage in our local news about how well San Fran Chinatown is doing.
You're saying it's worse in San Fran now compared to Vancouver? Did San Fran set up some shelters to put the homeless people in, away from the Downtown and Chinatown?
I used to go to San Fran for dragonboat competitions. Last time was in 2010. One of my favorite places to visit. Thanks for checking out my video.
@@DanSetoChineseCanadianRootsTV I would say that the Chinatown area is still better off than in other parts of the city in San Francisco, such as the Tenderloin and some other districts. There is a growing problem, however, of crimes happening to Asians such as petty thefts and more serious. attacks. There is a growing sense that the criminal friendly laws here are to blame. You can literally steal up to $999 and the police won't arrest you, or if they do, you won't get prosecuted. Larger companies like Walgreens are systematically closing their stores in the city due to daily shoplifting.
@@DanSetoChineseCanadianRootsTV I didn’t rly notice any areas that r particularly bad or rough in SF proper. Most of its bad areas tend to get pushed out to the burbs, esp the east bay including Oakland and Richmond
@@hellfreezer3037 I think saw some stories about 6 or 7 years ago about the homeless in downtown San Fran. In our city, I have a feeling it's going to be pushed out as well. Thanks for replying.
Mediatory incarceration is needed needed for the homeless. Letting them run free is not working. Addicts are not getting help criminals are getting away without any consequence. Clean up the city please.
Thanks for your summary. Thanks for checking out my video.
I voted for your entire party Ken! Let’s clean up all of Vancouver. Enough of the soft touch and let’s get tough on drug addicts and law breakers.
The new premier David Eby has recently announced he is taking charge, so provincially they will be coordinating their efforts. Ken Sim said help is needed from the provincial and federal governments, so hopefully we will see some action. Thanks for commenting andf thanks for checking out my video.
Finally someone that can enforce the law. I hope he breaks up these tent cities
We'll see what happens. Thanks for checking out my video.
Blessings,
ABC, a better country, Go, Go, Go, Ken
I hope this is the start of better things. Thanks for viewing my video.
I hope Ken Sim can deal with the violence and crime in Vancouver.
Ken Sim, I also am a son of immigrants. My dad is from Denmark and Mom was from Austria. I am first generation.
Yes, lots of work required. Immigrants, like your parents, are the foundation of this country. Thanks for viewing my video.
No single mayor can ever stop the homeless crisis in Vancouver.
I think it's a climate thing; Vancouver's warm and rainy at worst, snowstorms are very rare there. It's a place where you can stay outdoors all year.
Very true what you're saying. At least make some effort. The previous mayor did very little. Thanks for viewing my video.
@@DanSetoChineseCanadianRootsTV right on. Hope he makes some good steps.
No it’s actually not. People have who become acclimated to the Vancouver climate find the fall and winter cold and they aren’t coming for the weather. The majority of people coming, the most being from Alberta at 25% (recent stats show the majority of homeless drug addicts on Vancouver sidewalks are Albertans), they come to set up tents and do drugs and distribute drugs because they know police aren’t enforcing any laws against, police walk right on buy people shooting up heroin, smoking crack, selling stolen goods, etc, all because the former mayor Kennedy Stewart ordered the police to decrease their presence and engagement with the people in the DTES leaving the actual disadvantaged people renting low income apartment in danger with all the drug addict criminals around them on the sidewalks. Ken Sim needs to fix this and increase the police presence and clean the sidewalks up and ignore the special interest groups that advocate for the drug addicts. With decriminalizing drugs next years it’s only going to get worse, like it has in Portland and San Francisco where they have learned decriminalizing drugs was a mistake.
They are here for the free fn drugs. What a joke
Looks like Portland Oregon
Sad a lot of cities are in this situation. I haven't been to Portland in over 10 years and it was a nice city at that time. Thanks for viewing my video.
I just left the same comment before I saw yours. It’s REALLY gotten bad here in Portland in the last 3 years.
@@GreatGreebo I went to a dragon boat competition in Portland over 12 years ago. I went to this really nice old fashioned steakhouse. Is it in downtown Portland and do you know the name of it? Hard to imagine what's happening in all the great cities I have visited in the past. Thanks for checking out my video.
@@DanSetoChineseCanadianRootsTV The RINGSIDE steakhouse? Its been there for many, many years and is delicious...were you downtown, downtown or more on the Eastside? That's where the Ringside is (Eastside)...Also, I have a good friend who still does the dragon boats every year!
@@GreatGreebo Not sure where I was. The waiters wore the white jackets. I also like the place that sold the bacon doughnuts. Not sure if these 2 places were located close to each other.
Heeeey, this is in the neighborhood I was living in till leaving in 2020. That was my go-to bakery! 😉👍 But I would rather go to the Kent's Kitchen in China Town... The Victoria Square location there wasn't nearly as good, and No Soup! I was glad to see Ken get voted in. He seems like a man of the people, and the kind who'll get things done 👍
So sad to hear Kent's in Chinatown is closing. They're just serving take-out until the end of April. Thanks for chking out my video.
great question about the DTES, my father was robbed and injured down there and i dont want anyone to ever go thru that. so i appreciate that question
It's not just in the DTES anymore. A friend at work, her son was attacked yesterday going on his evening walk...far away from the DTES in east Vancouver. The city period needs more police because it's startng more and more to bleed into other areas of the city.
True, there are about 4 random attacks, not only in DTES, but throughout the city. thanks for checking out my video.
I’m glad Ken Sim got elected. Hopefully he will be tough on crime and stop the massive import of Fentanyl to Vancouver and to Canada.
We need the provincial government and federal government on board. Thanks for checking out my video.
Congratulations Mr. Sim, now let's do all the things you named in your platform. All the best!
Hope this mayor does a few things better than the previous one. Thanks for viewing my video.
Good work Dan... You've come a long way from your mother's cooking videos. Election of Sim is a good sign but the problem may be insurmountable. Time will tell. All the best Dan.. Greetings for Victoria..
Great to hear from you. How is everything with you? I believe your name is Roy. I apologize if I'm wrong. I think the last time I was in Victoria was when I met you at the museum. I just saw you video on your visit to Hua Hin. Check out my comment on that video. Thanks for checking out my video. Take care.
Great stuff, change is needed!
Yes, for sure. I hope the new mayor will bring some good changes. Thanks for viewing my video.
I voted for Ken! I hope he delivers and I'm hoping for good things in our future. He's hard working and doesn't fall into the loony left category.....we need fewer of those fools running our cities. Love your channel and concern for one and all in Vancouver . And most importantly, we need civility and safety back in our streets!
I hope so too! Hopefully Ken will be much better than the previous mayor. Thanks for checking out my video. Much appreciated.
Congratulations Mr. Sim!
Thanks for checking out my video.
Let's hope we can get the same type of mayor in Victoria!!! Victoria is fast going down!!!
There needs to be higher priority at the civic, provincial and federal levels to deal with this situation. Thanks for viewing my video.
Just having a Chinese face as mayor isn't enough to solve the Chinatown crisis... did he even try hard to say a few phrases in Chinese with the Chinatown business owners to really connect?? As for DTES, it'll only get worse!!!! Let's hope Sim can somehow get the police resources right and make the city a little safer!!
Ken said his father tried to make him learn Chinese when he was young, but he didn't want to. He regrets not learning Chinese. I agree with you, I hope he makes the city a little safer. Thanks for viewing my video.
dope production
sick buns
ken sim for mayor you already know it
Much appreciated. Yes, those buns were really good- fresh out of the oven. Thanks for viewing my video.
This is happening in Calgary too, it's a huge problem
So sad to hear this is happening in Calgary too. I haven't been to Calgary in over 10 years, so I think I would be quite shocked if I visited Calgary again. Thanks for checking out my videro.
I wouldn’t say Calgary is as bad as Vancouver or other west coast cities. There are definitely issues here, mostly isolated to areas next to the shelters in the Beltline and East Village.
Thankfully, despite having a very “progressive” mayor, local government seems to allow the authorities/ bylaw officers to do some level of enforcement.
I would like more to be done, but that’s bigger than a city issue. Province needs to step up and throw more money into institutionalizing individuals with mental health / drug addiction issues.
@@gavendano92 I'm not familiar with Beltline and East Village areas. Is that away from downtown?
In my opinion, I think the situation got worse in Vancouver was because of the inaction of the previous mayor. Not blaming him for everything, but he largely disappeared. Early in the pandemic, he said Vancouver was going bankrupt. Not true at all. Later he laid the blame on the provincial and federal governments.
People are moving to Calgary, The younger generations are not too optimistic about their future in Vancouver. Thanks for commenting.
Come here in NY. You are a few years behind us but will get there sooner than you think. The more money you spend on homelessness the worse it gets. You have to vote wisely.
@@gavendano92 Generally, where there is poverty there is crime. I am not surprised the issues were near shelters. Notice you mentioned the issues are isolated near poor areas.
Its a disgrace that this is tolerated I was born here and never seen the city so bad...
Action needs to be taken by the new mayor. Thanks for viewing my video.
It looks like Kensington Street of Pennsylvania. I wish the best dr Oz and Ken Sim for their respective election campaigns
We'll see how the new mayor will do. Thanks for checking out my video.
Made the decision to sell and move out of downtown after being mugged and attacked on two separate occasions near the Canada Post. If this gets any worse, I'll be looking into moving provinces or a whole different country
Sorry to hear about your situation. More needs to be done to protect our citizens. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Not a word about where the homeless are going to actually be after he takes office. Will the tents remain where they are? Will they be moved from park to park like before? Why such an omission to such an obvious question?
There was talk of a judicial review of the original fire order. Which means lawyers representing the homeless people are going to court. They are saying the tents don't have to be removed if the government doesn't have housing for them. This was in the news a few weeks ago.
I also heard that indigenous people are not moving because they are saying they have a right to be there because it's their land. This was also in the news.
Just speculation on my part. Thanks for checking out my video.
and they say Vancouver is the best city to live. I have been to east side of Hasting in 1996, it is even worse now by the video you have shown.
More so in the last few years. Thanks for checking out my video.
Good work Ken.
👍 Thanks for checking out my video. Let's hope Ken will help improve the way the city is run.
Just don't build any supportive housing on the west side. I don't want the infestation to ruin Kitsilano.
If this keeps up, it will be in all neighborhoods. Hopefully the new mayor will be better than the last one. Thanks for checking out my video.
It's happening all over the Americas
Yes, very sad. We are a few years behind so if we don't do anything differently, the worse is yet to come. Thanks for viewing my video.
The whole dt core will be turning into a trudeauville
I hope not but you could be right. And other parts of the city as well. Thanks for chking out my video.
Nice of Ken to drop by VFK area. All the best to him.
once the parade dust settles, we'll see.
btw crisp video, Dan
But realistically don't know if dtes issue could ever be fixed. it's a moving conundrum. Is the will there enough? (I do miss 1980s chinatown and woodward's era though! long gone)
you could clean it up a bit or try to for a period of a term but what then. it is a place of refuge yet it's also the enigma of many citizens' minds.
hope the street level approach does something more than traditional nobel peace prize auditorium approach. goodluck
I miss those good old days too. I hope for the best but this situation has been ongoing for many decades.
I heard recently that some of the homeless people are taking this matter to court, to have a judicial review of the original fire order. Because the City can't find housing for them, they're staying where they are.
Also the aboriginal people are saying it's their land, so they have a right to stay.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Thanks for viewing my video.
It's a dire straits across Metro Vancouver sir I live in Surrey in the homeless is pretty bad here too
I don't go out to Surrey very often, but awhile back I didn't notice any homelessness on King George Highway. I think years ago it was the area near the first skytrain stop going into Surrey. Thanks for checking out my video.
Wow! Not Vancouver! 😢 I miss Vancouver, use to travel to see relatives! It was beautiful clean years ago. L.A. and San Francisco..I hope will turn around as well😢
I'm hoping for the best but viewers tell me the worse is yet to come. I think we're a little behind L.A. and San Fran. Thanks for checking out my video.
I love the East Side.. 100 additional Police officers and however many Mental Health practitioners wont do a damn thing to change anything tho.. It is a step in the right direction and far better than the current civic leaders attempts at governance.. but, Its gonna take a hard hand to turn that sh*t show into something that resembles the City I remember...or atleast a City Canada can be proud of..
You make some valid points. All levels of government must make a strong commitment to solve this situation. Even 2 years ago, I was still shopping at the Army And Navy Dept. store. Thanks for checking out my video.
This problem of the homeless and housing crisis, mental facilities closing and releasing of criminals onto the streets from prison, climate etc. There are so many factors that other government levels must help out in Vancouver.
I wonder though where the outcry was when the money laundering and real estate corruption, banks like cibc in bed with dirty money etc.
All governments in Canada are complicit with some forms of crime.
I dont think no government or anyone can solve the homeless issues in any nations. The US, Canada, and others’ big and major cities have a lot of homeless people now.
True, this is happening i n a lot of North American cities. Thanks for checking out my video.
opening one addiction center, and hiring 100 police and 100 mental health nurses wont do much. also Crime Has Been Going Down In Vancouver
Yes, more needs to be done. Some say there should be more police doing patrol. Businesses concerned about increase in break ins and stealing. Crime is going down but increase in random attacks against people. Thanks for checking out my video.
His approach might be a step in the right direction but he isn't explicitly saying that he'll clean the streets up...
We'll see what happens. Thanks for viewing my video.
Wow, never heard of Ken until today, but so happy he defeated Kennedy Stewart. Just on first impressions he'll be great mayor - pro public safety, and look at him handing out the food making sure everyone has something to eat. Leadership as a servant. Just like Christ, the best role model to follow!
You said it nicely, "Leadership as a servant." That really impressed me about Ken. Usually mainstream media wouldn't show that kind of thing, but hey, it's my channel, so I wanted to show that side of him.
Which is opposite of this woman I know. I used to belong to an organization and she is the president. One time we were having wine during a meeting and she asked me to get some wine glasses from the kitchen. No big deal, I went to get the wine glasses. As I was going to the kitchen, she quickly walked in front of me. Then when I got the wine glasses, she made sure I followed her back to the meeting room. What an ego!!! She could have just got the glasses herself since she was walking to the kitchen anyway.
Whenever we had food during our meetings, I would wash the dishes after. I don't need anyone to thank me, but this same lady would say to me, "You can do the dishes because you like doing dishes." Talk about being clueless.
Sorry I got a little off track here. Yes, I hope Ken will be a great mayor so we can be proud of our city again. Yes, Jesus is a great role model. Thanks for viewing my video. Thanks for commenting.
Did you just compair sims to Christ..even as a muslim i find that comment not only offensive but uneducational..i doubt sims will give his life for you and being crusified..amongst everything else harsh Christ went through, very poor comparison
@@1summer2042
4 "so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist. 5 After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him. 6 He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, “Lord, are you going to wash my feet?” 7 Jesus replied, “You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand.” 8 “No,” said Peter, “you shall never wash my feet.” Jesus answered, “Unless I wash you, you have no part with me.”"
John 13 4-8
This tells the story of the servant leader, setting an example for the Apostles on how to care for eachother by the foot washing. Jesus died for our sins but before he did, he provided an example for us to follow.
Also regarding Jesus feeding the hungry with bread see Matthew 14-15.
Ken Sims is ... AWE is WOW - Asian Work Ethic is Why Opportunity Works
He is a hard worker and I hope he can help improve our city. Thanks for viewing my video.
Its interesting in this video you took us to Victoria and 41st avenue. Although smaller than the original Chinatown, but it has inherit the vibrant atmosphere Chinatown once had.
I am sorry to miss out on the free coconut buns from Mr. Sim. Though I ran into a few ABC councilor candidate around the Kensington Park area. We had a great talk about the concern on public safely and the issue with school liaison officers being pulled out from our high school.
In this video, I actually had a clip where |I called it "Little Chinatown", but in the end I edit it out. Yes, as you say, it does have the vibrant atmosphere of Chinatown in the old days. You did miss some good coconut buns and egg tarts. They were hot out of the oven. The fact that you could actually talk to the candidates is a sign of better things to come from this city council compared to the previous one. Thanks for checking out my video.
There have been homeless tent cities for decades in the US. My city have seen increases of homeless tent cities. At least, porta potties have been made available. Struggling with how to end homelessness is still a work in progress. Or, in the trump world, move the tents outside the city and provide basic serves there. At one time they were called poor farms, and they actually existed. Once there, you were obligated, if you could, to work the gardens and the farm animals to provide food.
It wasn’t as pronounced as today
Thanks for sharing what's happening in other cities. As you say, ending homelessness is still a work in progress. Thanks for checking out my video.
We don't need more police in Vancouver. You can take all the ones that spend all their time cruising up and down Granville St. in the downtown area doing nothing but blaring their sirens day and night and use them in the DTES instead. But teach them how to be compassionate first and not ignore low-income people like myself when we've been victimized by crime and try to report it. That would save a lot of taxpayer's money instead of it being wasted, as it is. The problem is not so much the people on the street and the need for more police. The problem is much deeper, and stems from within the local government itself (including the police). You're just using the outer problems as a means to get public support for a deeper agenda.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. A lot of it is cost cutting so everyone suffers. Hopefully things will improve for you and everyone in the DTES. Thanks for checking out my video.
@@DanSetoChineseCanadianRootsTV I don't see how adding 100 more police is 'cost cutting'. We already have more than we need, and they have a long record of not being the nicest people when dealing with those living on the street.
Are you a reporter?
ABC! Let's hope they do help us. I voted for them too and I live in Chinatown.
Hope he helps everyone, including people in Chinatown. Thanks for checking out my video.
Nothing will change
We'll see . Thanks for viewing my video.
I’m from Seattle WA, looks familiar to me 😢
Sad to hear this is happening in other cities. Thanks for checking out my video.
Great video thx 🖖🏽
Much appreciated. Thanks for checking out my video.
How come it's just getting worse, plus police shootings are dramatically higher?
I can only speculate I don't have any definitive answers. Certainly something to do more research on. Thanks for checking out my video.
Yep…this is exactly how Portland, OR looks also. (Seattle isn’t doing any better either). The entire west coast of the American continent is a huge mess 🥺. Videos just don’t convey the level of squalor that is everywhere. It’s such a mess and it’s starting to spread out into the smaller, surrounding cities and towns 🥺 Thank you for making this video.
This situation needs to be taken seriously. The last time I visit west coast American cities was in 2010. Sad to hear everywhere is a mess. Thanks for viewing my video.
@@DanSetoChineseCanadianRootsTVNo not everything is a mess. My town in NorCal doesn't look like this.

I am reconsidering going on holiday in Vancouver.
I hope if you ever visit Vancouver, it will be a safe and enjoyable trip for you. Hopefully the new mayor will do a better job than the previous one. Thanks for checking out my video.
@@rickdu705 thanks, I understand the problem is on Hastings Street. So if I stay near the waterfront I should be ok.
I drove into the Riverview Hospital grounds yesterday the place was full of movie trucks. Is the reason they keep the place closed so this movie firm can have the whole place to themselves? They always filmed there yes but now they have full control and are remodeling the existing buildins even and destroying them for possible future patients use.
Who does Hollywood North pay to use the place? And are they more of a financial gain for the gov than a financial loss if we put nurses patients Nd doctors back in there? Something is fishy here.
Wow! I didn't know they use Riverview as a movie set. I always wondered why they don't reopen Riverview. There was a non-story about Riverview in the news a few weeks ago. Thanks for sharing your observations. Thanks for checking out my video.
@@DanSetoChineseCanadianRootsTV Yes and this needs to be investigated because someone is benefitting financially by being paid by Hollywood North. Our vulnerable should be in thete not Hollywood North. I worked thetebfor years and they always filmedntherebbut pushed back into the corners of RVH. Usually they filmed around westlawn or Crease because thos buildings were closed since 1990. And I don't want to hear it's in BChousings hands or our natives because those are excuses.
Another failed promise by the NDP. They said that they would reopen it. Guess that it costs too much money to operate.
Nice work, Dan!
Thanks very much. Thanks for checking out my video.
No housing enforcement only.
Yes, so far. Thanks for checking out my video.
Not once did you mention drug addiction!
Yes, you're right. Big omission. I was going to say drugs l but I forgot to put it in. Drug addiction, as you say, is more accurate. Anyway, I just put drug addiction in the description section below this video. Thank you for letting me know and thanks for checking out my video.
Exactly. People just keep portraying all these people as innocent “homeless” victims but they’re not. They’re massive drug addicts, they’ve been offered housing recently but refused because they’d rather stay outside and do their hard core drugs all day and night, hoarding junk. They need intervention and rehab, but the instead the BC govt things providing opioid addicts with more opioids is the solution. It’s ludicrous.
Finally a common sense mayor in Vancouver again. Kennedy Stewart was a total flop, ruined the city I grew up in. His endorsement from Eby, Dix and Singh only helped sink his numbers. Voters are tired of the "woke" save the planet crowd, like suing Big Oil, too many bike lanes but no road repairs, road tax when nothing is done with road improvements.
You make some valid points. I don't know if you remember, one winter City workers shoveled the snow off the bike lanes but not the roads. Thanks for viewing my video.
That's the problem. Taking an American concept "Housing First' originating in California. We failed to look at the outcome.
It's being scrapped for a WHOLISTIC'
approach taking the health of residents that live and work in area into serious consideration.
About time.
It's killed the. Livelihood of business owners everywhere in British Columbia
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. This is an experiment that has gone wrong. Thanks for checking out my video.
North American's appetite for drugs can never be cured (at least not if done only PC), Vancouverite would be better off moving to Shanghai than fighting this losing battle.
Stricter laws in a lot of countries. Thanks for checking out my video.
You vote NDP and liberals, you get this hell.
Some say this is an experiment gone wrong. Thanks for viewing my video.
🙏🙏🙏
Similar in Canada now. Thanks for viewing my video.
And now he got elected, hopefully his team could turn things around a bit.
New mayor, hopefully better results. Thanks for viewing my video.
A Wendy's janitor will do nothing for the homeless.
I hope at least the situation is improved. Thanks for checking out my video.
meet & greet Ken @ Kent's kitchen hahaha
I'm a little slow today. At first, I'm thinking why bring up Kent's Kitchen? Then I realized, "Oops, there it is"!!! Right there....ha ha ha. Thanks for making me laugh. Thanks for checking out my video.
Homeless prefer moderate or warm climate. The Homeless in colder parts disappear by November and don't return until spring because subzero temperatures are deadly.
Yes, you're right about the weather attracting the homeless.
Every few years we get some real cold weather and lots of snow in the winter. Otherwise, lot of rain. We'll see how it goes this winter. Thanks for checking out my video.
Dan are going to taishan city ?
I will hopefully in the future, Thanks for checking out my video.
Everyday it’s getting worse. I work in the area driving by Hastings as an Uber driver. I can honestly say everyday 5-10 more tents pop up.
The problem is the liberal ideology in woke BC. They continue to fund the drug problem hoping it’ll either go away or stay the same. It’s only getting worse.
Thanks for sharing your observations. As you're saying, there does seem to be more tents popping up. If what's happening in some of the west coast cities are true, the worse is yet to come. Thanks for checking out my video. Stay safe.
Ken's method is not going to work
There are 2 temporary housing projects to be finished by June. If these become permanent as they have become in other cities, we are in trouble. Thanks for checking out my video.
Nope
Thanks for checking out my video.
I like that fact that Ken Sim is a non-partisan political candidate. Hopefully he'll bring some much needed positive changes to Vancouver.
I agree. We need positive changes. Thanks for checking out my video.
Good job my nigga 👏 💪 👌 💯 🙌 👍 👏 💪 👌 💯 👏 💪 👌 💯

Ban all drugs..hard drugs
I agree. When drugs were decriminalized, no measures were taken by all levels of government, to deal with consequences. In B.C. drugs were allowed in hospitals, restaurants, businesses, in parks, on the streets and pretty well anywhere. No changes were made for a long time. Police were restricted to take any action because of the laws implemented. Thanks for checking oput my video.
Hey, I am going to be in North Van for a couple of days starting Tuesday Oct. 25. I can't find the email you sent me with contact information so can you email me again? Rich M
Hi Richard, I didn't check RUclips until now. I called you around 7:30 p.m. yesterday and left my phone number. Just leave a message if I don't answer my phone. Or leave a message here at CCRSTV@yahoo.com.
